    CF or Norte?

    LIVE from the Camino On the Camino Primitivo staying at the a Pocina de Muniz

    The private room is expensive, 50 euro i think. The albergue dorm was 14 euro but very worth it for its spectacular nature. Gorgeously appointed and the beds all had curtains and their own light, power point etc. Really nice bathrooms and laundry facility. I think dinner was 10 or 12 euro...

    Camino Norte

    Very long and steep ascents and descents and the path is unforgiving - extremely rocky and bumpy with tree routes and other obstacles. I normally average about 5.5ks an hour. But on this terrain i was reduced to much less. But its stunning. It was just very hard for me as most of my training...

    Getting from Norte to Oviedo

    I'm currently in Bilbao recovering from the shock to my system of the last week from Irun 😅. I plan to follow the primitivo from Oviedo. Can someone please suggest the best point on the Norte to turn into Oviedo? Is it Villaviciosa or Aviles or somewhere else? Thanks
